Are you passionate about mountain biking here in Santa Cruz County? Do you want to be sure that we as mountain bikers take full advantage of opportunities to create more riding options in our community? Well now is the time to step forward. Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz is recruiting new leadership.

MBoSC’s role within the community has grown exponentially in recent years, and our club needs to grow proportionally. We have built two amazing trails, the Emma McCrary Trail in Pogonip, and the Flow Trail at Soquel Demonstration State Forest. We have put on several ongoing events with great success, The Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival and The Santa Cruz Super Enduro. But this is no time to rest on our laurels. With so many amazing opportunities coming down the pipes, trail development at Coast Dairies and San Vicente Redwoods, a trail reroute in Wilder Ranch State Park, several new pump tracks, a new bike park, and so many others, we need to grow and strengthen our organization to maintain the momentum we have achieved. New energy, ideas, and motivation will help us to capitalize on the momentum we have built.
